MINIATURE CIRCUIT BREAKER SAMITE MOUNT, 2 POLES RATED AT 20A WITH BREAKING CAPACITY OF 3KA, C-CURVE.

Description

• A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit fromdamagecaused by excess current from an overload or short circuit.
• Its basic function is to interrupt current flowafter afaultisdetected.
• Circuit breakers are rated both by the normal current that they are expected to carry, and themaximumshort-circuit current that they can safely interrupt.
• This latter figure is the ampere interrupting capacity (AIC) of thebreaker. It is in conformity with IEC 60947 standard.

Technical Data

Temperature Derating

• The maximum permissible current in a circuit breaker depends on the ambient temperature where the circuit breakeris placed.
• Ambient temperature is the temperature inside the enclosure or switchboard in which the circuit breakersare installed.
• South Africa is calibrated at 40°C
